Trump says he won't sign loyalty pledge required for first GOP debate - Lemmy.world

The pledge includes a clause saying that the candidate will support the eventual GOP nominee.

I will never, ever understand how the entire Republican party lined up behind this guy.

Before Trump was elected, they were all vocal about how unfit he was. Too stupid. Too rude.

Then he got the nomination, and they all bent the knee, and became so loyal to him that they protected him from facing the consequences of his insurrection, even when he put their lives in danger.

My theory is that he dug up tons of leverage for each and every one of them. He talks like a mobster, deals like a mobster, decides like a mobster, he certainly keeps his posse in line like a mobster.
